According to an article from Wired, both Netflix and Amazon provide access to a wide, potential audience and a platform for a diverse range of stories that intrigue independent filmmakers. In the past few years, the streaming sites have attended major film festivals, like Sundance, and unlike major studio companies that are extremely rigid with their film selections, Netflix and Amazon pick up what they find most interesting, and know their audience will enjoy. Plus, they offer top dollar for the films, making them a threat to these motion picture conglomerates.Independent filmmakers have always struggled to take their projects to a theatrical level, but streaming platforms are making that recognition increasingly obsolete. There is a wide array of films featured on both sites, which gives users the opportunity to check out visual stories they would not get a chance to see in theaters.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTUHFjy2qDgAmazon and Netflix have become great competitors during the Sundance Film Festival, getting into bidding battles with big studios, which they've recently been winning. According to Vanity Fair, "Manchester By the Sea" was bought by Amazon Studios for $10 million in 2016, and this past Sundance Film Festival, Amazon purchased a few other films like The Big Sick, a Judd Apatow film ($12 million), The Long Strange Trip, a documentary produced by Martin Scorsese ($6 million), and more. Netflix also purchased its share of documentaries, like To the Bone, starring Lily Collins and Keanu Reeves ($8 million), and Nobody Speak, a Hulk Hogan vs. Gawker documentary ($2 million).With the Academy Awards nominating streamed films on Amazon and Netflix, the Oscars are opening doors to independent filmmakers and making the industry more inclusive. So if you're an indie filmmaker, keep doing what you're doing because you might have a chance at snagging the coveted Oscar, but without the hassle of a theatrical release.[via Wired] [post_title] => Streaming Sites are Threatening Hollywood and Inspiring Indie Filmmakers [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => open [ping_status] => closed [post_password] => [post_name] => streaming-sites-are-threatening-hollywood-and-inspiring-indie-filmmakers [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2017-02-14 12:24:08 [post_modified_gmt] => 2017-02-14 17:24:08 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => http://resourcemagonline.com/?p=75962 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => post [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw )[3] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 75922 [post_author] => 47235 [post_date] => 2017-02-13 15:42:24 [post_date_gmt] => 2017-02-13 20:42:24 [post_content] => Contrary to the belief of diehard MTV-era faithfuls, the music video game is as alive as ever. And thanks to the internet and streaming sites like YouTube and Vimeo, we have unprecedented access to all of it. Still, it can be difficult to break through the clutter and find what's relevant and inspiring to your filmmaking hobby or career. So here are 2016's most relevant music videos for filmmakers, in no particular order.
In an interview with Mashable, Lamba said he's always been fascinated with social media and how features like Snapchat's "Story" allows users to create and curate their lives through a series of photos and videos. "Often, we skew this to present our most joyous and attractive selves," Lamba said in the interview.The film is a seven-minute piece following actress Chantelle Levene as she goes to parties, hangs out with her friends and hits up the gym. The snaps are realistic, depicting the main character's typical day, but eventually taking a dark, dismal turn. "I wanted to test the resilience of the social avatar when faced with unpleasantness," continued Lamba to Mashable. "Our aim then was to bring together social media and cinema in a synthesis that felt authentic, searing and potentially illuminating."
Aside from being featured on Vimeo, Lamba has been invited to screen his film throughout London, which he believes will give audiences a unique perspective when shown on a big screen. It is also important to note that this is not the first time Snapchat has been used to make a movie. According to Mashable, writer/director Hannah Macpherson borrowed the account of YouTube star Andrea Russett to create a five-day horror film, in real time, called "Sickhouse."No doubt, it's clear that Snapchat is no longer just an social sharing app, but a platform for creatives to challenge themselves to adapt and master new mediums. Lamba's Snapchat film is creative, unique and will surely capture the audience's attention.[via Mashable] [post_title] => "Cracked Screen": A Dark Story Told Entirely Through Snapchat [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => open [ping_status] => closed [post_password] => [post_name] => cracked-screen-a-dark-story-told-entirely-through-snapchat [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2017-02-08 14:15:36 [post_modified_gmt] => 2017-02-08 19:15:36 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => http://resourcemagonline.com/?p=75584 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => post [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw )[5] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 75335 [post_author] => 47193 [post_date] => 2017-02-04 15:14:58 [post_date_gmt] => 2017-02-04 20:14:58 [post_content] => YouTube superstar Casey Neistat has been taking a lot of slack since his app Beme was acquired by CNN. In the deal, Neistat joined CNN Worldwide and will start a new media brand dedicated to “timely and topical video content powered by bleeding edge mobile technology.” Obviously, the deal will make Neistat millions of dollars.And, being that it's 2017 and the world is full of virtual trolls, the hatred for Neistat came in quickly. It didn't help that he joined forces with a company that the President of the United States has labeled as "fake news". But today, Neistat addressed those trolls head on by uploading a new video for his 6.5 million YouTube subscribers. Simply titled 'Millionaire YouTube SELLOUT', Neistat starts the video by burning a stack of Benjamins...or does he?The YouTube filmmaker then goes on a five and a half minute inspirational talk that directly confronts the keyboard warriors who have been calling him a sellout because of his recent partnership with CNN. He addresses how, as a kid, your imagination fuels your life ambitions, but as you get older, those dreams quickly give way to reality. In addition, a fear of failure makes those dreams become more and more distant.Neistat tells us his reality hit earlier than most, as his girlfriend became pregnant when he was 15. He put his dreams on the back burner to get a job and be a supportive father. Now, 20 years later, he finds himself with a massive following and a comfortable bank account by accomplishing those dreams. And not everyone is happy for him.So Neistat addresses those people with this brilliant and motivating talk. And he ends it by bashing his stack of Benjamins over the haters' heads with this line.

A city as old and overpopulated as this one is a breeding ground for shitty roommates, deteriorating buildings, and in the case of one NYC filmmaker, a bizarre landlord that rivals the one from The Resident.In the case of NYC Filmmaker Brian Bolster, his landlord, Rita, wasn't watching him through two-way mirrors and peepholes (that we know of), but she was keeping close tabs on him and his roommate. So, he turned the camera on himself to document the all too common occurrence of "when a one-year lease feels like a one-year sentence."The 11-minute video One Year Lease begins with a recording of Rita offering to feed Brian and his roommate Thomas' cat Casper.[caption id="attachment_75311" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]

The second installment of Stewart's film Sharkwater began filming in December 2016. He and his group started a Kickstarter campaign to speed up the process of filming the documentary. Stewart has a passion for filmmaking and protecting the world's most powerful creatures. There is a stigma sharks are violent and terrifying creatures, but through these films, Stewarts wants to highlight the importance of sharks in our ecosystem and expose those trying to make them go extinct. Check out the video for Sharkwater 2 where Stewart goes on a quest to find 80 million missing sharks and uncover the multi-billion dollar industry that has made us become a part of the greatest wildlife massacre ever known.https://vimeo.com/171576801Sharkwater, Stewart's first installment in the documentary project, changed the way others view sharks and made the 24 million people who watched it want to do something to protect the species. Stewart's next film wants to inspire even more people to get involved in the cause. If you want to contribute to the search of Rob Stewart, donate to his GoFund Me page.

Moonlight, directed by Barry Jenkins.[/caption]The 2017 Academy Awards have some great films lined up, and I'll admit it, I will be one of those people curled up on the couch with a glass of wine, watching with a friend or two. There is a little more diversity in the films this year, which is a huge step in the Academy world compared to last year's #OscarsSoWhite. So with the addition of more films with actors, directors and film makers of color, maybe the Oscars will connect more with those who usually refuse to watch it. According to film reviewers around the Internet, Moonlight and La La Land are going head-to-head for the coveted Best Picture award, and if Moonlight wins, it will be a victory for both independent film makers and film makers of color.

But just because there was a lot of practical effects doesn't mean they tried to scale back the digital special effects, which are shown off in this highlights reel from Industrial Light and Magic (who are my personal favorite effects team).

You feel like you are in the room with this person, talking to this person, and fucking this person,” says Ela Darling, a former librarian turned AVN-award-winning pornstar, industry activist, and VR porn pioneer. “You have to play that up and make yourself seem like a personable character—not just a fucking thing on a screen.”Darling initially entered the VR space in 2014, after she came across a Reddit post made by a friend of a young developer, James Ashfield, who was struggling to recruit models for a shoot. Months later, she flew out to Baltimore, where the duo became equal business partners in VRTube.xxx. Today, the site is credited as the first to offer adult content in 180 and 360-degree 3D captures, holographic VR, and live VR cam streaming. “It was the perfect match, and we were the first to hit the market in a lot of ways,” she says. “The porn industry tends to move fast, and since it’s just the two of us we’re able to pivot from idea to idea very quickly,” a key quality when working with such rapidly evolving technology. (Since the original publication of this article in April 2016, Darling has launched CAM4VR, an adult site featuring live VR performances).If we look at VR as a medium, its rate of development is staggering. A handful of companies are already creating content for commercial and advertising purposes, alongside its obvious ties to gaming and entertainment. But while it’s not yet a proven platform, there are few things holding it back. The first is that not nearly enough potential users have access to headsets. Sure, you can purchase the hand-held, smartphone-powered Google Cardboard for $20 or less, HTC's Vive for a pricey $799, or Samsung’s GearVR for $100, but these, arguably, do very little to show the true capabilities of VR. Cardboard, for example, has an approximate latency—the time it takes between turning your head and showing the picture that matches that rotation—of 75ms of higher. This is considered to be very high and is known to cause nausea. The GearVR achieves about 20ms, but it can only be powered using Samsung smartphones and VR apps, which, for countless reasons, limits the image resolution and overall quality.
Photo: Alexander Sinclaire - Model: Ela Darling[/caption]TURNING ON AN AUDIENCEVR Innovation is a software development company that gives website owners the ability to host streamable 180 and 360-degree videos on PCs and mobile devices. One of its platforms, ViRP, targets adult entertainment and is the first to offer the playback of 3D, VR adult videos in web browsers with head-tracking (ViRP has since been discontinued and the company's official VR Player has launched). “The adult entertainment industry will be the front runners in producing VR video content in the near future,” says one of the lead developers of ViRP, who asked to not be named. “It already has the largest catalog of VR video content, more so than any other industry, and we expect this trend to continue.”So what sets adult VR content apart? According to the ViRP developer, it’s currently the only industry truly monetizing VR video. “Everything else tends to be event-based, like a special production or something for advertising purposes. But there aren’t a lot of video companies putting their resources into VR video outside of the adult industry. That will probably change in 2017, but for 2016, this will likely be the landscape.”
Model: Ela Darling[/caption]“The camera costs $250 to make, but after we scale it up, it will cost even less. So for a performer who wants to get started in VR it’s a just $250 camera and that’s it.” says Darling. “Right now, the market isn’t strong enough to support a model webcamming in only VR. That’s why we created this system that allows for both options, which gives performers a much larger scope of monetization for their work.”For bigger productions, however, where shoots typically operate on budgets of $3,000 to $5,000, the fallback camera setup is an array of GoPro lenses housed in a modified rig, according to Anna Lee, president of HoloGirls VR. Lee, who has worked on over 60 scenes in the past six months, explains that this is far from efficient because it’s impossible to adjust the lens settings after it’s placed in the housing on set; not to mention that GoPros have a knack for underperforming in low-light and shifting focus.“We’ve spent a lot of time experimenting with different types of rigs, lens placements, and various configurations,” she says. As a result, production companies have begun constructing cameras using off the shelf parts, exclusively for their in-house teams. “We’re experimenting with a brand new rig and techniques that I can’t quite reveal yet.”But perhaps the greatest challenge is for the performers themselves. Unlike much of the porn we watch today (yes, most of us do), VR is generally captured in one continuous shot. The reason for this is that cuts break the immersion of a scene, meaning each take must start from the beginning. And if you’ve ever worked in porn, you understand why this is problematic: because you can only shoot for as long as the actors can perform.“You can’t reset and back up five minutes—it doesn’t work that way,” says Lee. “You’re also working within the physiology and the anatomy of people, so you have to take that into account as well.”[caption id="attachment_70296" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Photo: Rae Threat - Model: Ela Darling[/caption]FACTORING THE IMPACTThere's no doubt that adult entertainment outliers are innovating the VR industry while building a new market altogether. Each day this market is growing, as VR becomes more accessible and more porn companies begin to release content. In little time, it seems like VR porn will be everywhere: we will be able to fuck whoever we want, whenever we want, and however we want. On the surface, really, it sounds pretty remarkable. But as with every new invention, it’s important to consider how it affects the people who use it.Alexander Rhoades is the founder of NoFap, a community-based porn recovery website. The intent of the site is to “offer all the tools our users need to connect with a supportive community of individuals determined to quit porn use and free themselves from compulsive sexual behaviors.” Many of its members are addicts who report symptoms of hormonal changes and sexual dysfunction due to heavy porn use. Often, this leads to damaged relationships with partners, the inability to be aroused in real life, and symptoms of depression and loneliness. Rhoades is in recovery himself—a process NoFap calls “rebooting”—and says his addiction began at just 11 years old when he accidentally encountered a pop-up ad showing a compilation of simulated rape porn.
Stills for this film are as beautiful as the film itself—each still could be an individual photograph in an exhibition. The whole film seems drenched in silky red wine as the set make up and coloring all resound a deep burgundy. One of Wong Kar Wai’s early hits, In the Mood for Love is a tender masterpiece and a Wong Kar Wai classic about the confusion and in congruencies in love.5. My Blueberry Nights
Hopping on the train of moody colors and lost lovers Wong Kar Wai’s more recent film, My Blueberry Nights, is another cinematic masterpiece lacking only slightly in storyline. Nevertheless, the slightly mundane and overused story line is redeemed by the beautiful cinematography.6. Daisies
On this similar streak of older movies, Kenneth Anger’s 1964 short film/music installment, Scorpio Rising, is an explosive look into the rowdy biker-gang lifestyle of the 60’s. The film makes up for it’s lack of conversation with a great soundtrack that sets the mood for the film’s violent yet arguably redemptive nature.8. Requiem for a Dream
Capturing the vast abandoned atmosphere of Siberia as they crawl their way through the Arctic Ocean - one can see the contrast of both the quiet beauty of the place and its unknown ruggedness characterized by extreme weather conditions. Only a few individuals armed with the zest for adventure would dare visit this place to surf its icy waters.
"Right now, Its a wasteland. No wonder. After all, we are talking about the far north, and here, it is far and severe. Indeed, living here is tough" Kokorev narrates on the video. By using deft camera work to produce fast-shifting scenes, kick-ass surfing sequences plus incorporating a pulsating soundtrack, Kokorev accurately captures the lonely yet charming vibe of the Arctic Ocean and the nearby towns in Siberia - compiling all of these moving images to create a short film that is sure to ignite our inner wanderlust. Despite the extreme and solitary environment, Kokorev and his crew shows us that by pushing the envelope to explore and do new things, amazing things are achieved.Check out some stills from the video or better yet watch the whole short film.

Earlier this week, a bison calf had to be euthanized after it's herd refused to accept it back due to the acts of some tourists who put the calf in their car and brought it to a Ranger Station because they thought it was cold. Yes, you read that right.[caption id="attachment_7264" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Courtesy of Karen Richardson[/caption]If you thought that was the dumbest things that tourists did in Yellowstone this week, the clothing/filmmaking guys from High On Life might change your mind.On the afternoon of May 14, 2016, visitors to the nation's first National Park were enjoying the view of the Grand Prismatic Spring from the boardwalk and marked trails that surround this beautiful natural wonder. The calm and peaceful setting was shattered when four men were suddenly seen walking across the incredibly sensitive terrain. To visitors, it was easy to see what their self-serving agenda was, as three of the men were followed closely by a fourth man holding a Glidecam, used for stable video capture. It was obvious these guys weren't amateurs.
As it turns out, the team is from a Canadian clothing called High On Life. The team consists of Alexey Lyakh, Ryker Gamble, Justis Cooper and Parker Heuser. According to their website, they have known each other since middle school and spent their younger days idolizing videos from the Jackass crew. They even went to far as to make their own videos called "Dumbass" and sell them to kids at their high school.With a pretty large following on Instagram of almost one million people, these guys have obviously traveled the world and created some great content. You would think with all that travel, they would have learned to show respect for the places they visit, especially ones as sensitive as the Grand Prismatic Spring. But quite the opposite. The team went onto the land knowing it was dangerous, fragile and illegal. There are posted signs everywhere, and on the YouTube video that they posted from the adventure (which has since been removed) you can see the men actually filming the sign telling them not to leave the Boardwalk.
Well, they left the boardwalk, even as people standing by shouted at them not too. Check out the video and photos below, which were captured by concerned visitors and promptly turned over to the Park Service.https://youtu.be/wwZVr0VQvrU
But at least they got photos for the social media likes (which have also been deleted).
Obviously, once the culprits were identified, the Internet was relentless. Hundreds of comments flooded the group's social media accounts, and none of them were supportive. Many people have been writing the team's sponsors voicing their displeasure at the brand ambassadors' actions.So, you would think that with all of the negative attention, the team surely realized their mistakes and would bend over backwards to make it right. Well, not quite. On the "apology" posted on their Facebook account, the team claims "We wandered off the laid out path and took photos of the Grand Prisma
